I ahve been singing in a band now for a few months. We havent played any gigs yet. However, we have a couple booked for around about Christmas. Now I know thats a bit of a way off, but our problem is our name. We dont have one. We cant decide on a name and we need to start printing up some promotional material.
We have toyed with the idea of
Harper Lee (Author of To Kill A Mockingbird)
Huxley (Author of Brave New World)
Fine Line
The Postmen

Our typical setlist includes an equal mix of original and cover material. Simply because it takes us a long time to write a bloody song!
We are a Rock n Roll band essentially, with a bit of soul creeping into the picture. Hard to explain really |

Funny.
We were playing around with idea of a comedy name. We thought of
Quasi and the Modos
Billy and the Ball Bags
The Gobshites
Tommy and the Sex Offenders
Jimmy Saville's Sister
And the rest |

Standing at a bust stop in Tooting broadway. We saw an old man in a shell suit who looked like Jimmy Saville. We all laughed at hime. Then this old woman in a shell suit came tagging along behind him. The drummer shouted look, its Jimmy Savilles sister. Da Daaaaaa |

Well now I know.
I thought it might be because one of your band mates likes wearing blond wigs and smoking cigars, but obviously I was mistaken

Well we like to do that to. Although I stopped smoking the cigars when Jimmy wouldnt fix it for me to roll one on the thigh of a virgin in Cuba. Bastard.
I like that name Shake |

Can anyone suggest a name which comes from a Rolling Stones line. Nothing to blatant though. Dont want to sound like a tribute band.
I like The Dead Flowers |

i hate bands that try to have a witty name. find a name that doesnt have some deep bullshit meaning or a reference to a book you have probably not read. |

Yeah.
We are trying not to get to political.
Our manager wants us to be called My Antartica. He was the lead singer of a fairly successful band in the 80s and co wrote a song by the same name with Andy Taylor for Duran Duran. Although he is never credited.
Some of you guys might know hime.
Mark Shaw. Used to sing for a band called Then Jericho

Thanks for the suggestions guys. All except Bill Perks, who can go and fuck himself.
I quite like the name Dirty Work. Will let you know what we decide soon and will try and get some demos online.

I just spoke to my guitarist and he suggested being called the Starfuckers. However, I played on the words and we are leaning towards the Star Killers now.
Its not that OI dont like the name Starfuckers. I think that is great. However, I think the use of the word fuck is a bit too punk/shock rock. Star Killers is more apt for us. |
